How to import the old library of iPhoto in a new imac with aperture 3.4.4

Hi guys I'm a happy owner of a new 27-inch iMac. I previously had a G5 and I had my old iPhoto library on an external hard drive. Now I would like to import this Iphoto library in Aperture. I do not want to create duplicates and I would not want the photos to be saved on the internal hard disk but in my exterenal hard disk.
After importing the Iphoto library can I delete it from the external drive?
What procedure should I use to make this?
Thanks in advance for your help and answer!

After importing the Iphoto library can I delete it from the external drive?
What procedure should I use to make this?
In addition to Terence Devlin's advice just a few words of caution, since merging and upgrading libraries will be a major reconstruction of the libraries - better be safe than sorry:
Check your available free disk space. Merging libraries will need temporarily plenty of additional disk space, more than the size of the library that will be imported.
Before upgrading your iPhoto library, check, if your backup of the iPhoto Library is current. Don't merge the libraries without having a current backup of both libraries - your Aperture library and your iPhoto library.
Merging and upgrading libraries is safest, if both libraries do not have any inconsistencies and permission issues. Run the "Library First Aid Tools" on both to repair the database and to repair the permissions, before you do anything else. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the key combination ⌥⌘, while double clicking the library in question.
After you imported the upgraded iPhoto library into your Aperture library, as Terence Devlin explained, check the result of your import carefully, if it is complete. There may be referenced images, that fail to import, or images synced from Photo Stream, Facebook, or something. Do not delete your old iPhoto Library, until you are sure, that every image has been transferred correctly and can be opened and edited.
Regards and Good Luck!

I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion. I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store. Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store. I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive. I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install. I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase? I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.

There are links to trial installers on pages:
http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

HT3805 How do I restore Vault created under Snow leopard to new IMac with Maverick 10.9.2

Purchased a new IMac with OS 10.9.2
trying to restore an Aperture Vault (created by snow leopard) I get error message that Vault could not be restored because it was created by older OS.
Is there a fix for this or do I kiss my 4k pics goodbye - I hope this isn't the case.

Purchased a new IMac with OS 10.9.2
trying to restore an Aperture Vault (created by snow leopard) I get error message that Vault could not be restored because it was created by older OS.
What exactly is the error message? The operating system version should not matter, when restoring from a vault. What however will matter, are the version of Aperture and the file system of the disk with the vault. Is your vault on an external drive? If yes, how is the drive formatted? If the vault is not on a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled), move it to a disk with the correct formatting and try again.
And what version of Aperture created your vault? With SnowLeopard you probably used an older Aperture version. Then your vault needs to be upgraded to a newer Aperture version, before you can restore from it. Do you still have a version of Aperture installed, that is the same version as your vault? Was it an Aperture 3 version?
If your vault is an Aperture 3 vault, try to open it as an Aperture library instead of restoring it.
- a quick and dirty emergency measure: Try to open your vault directly on the drive where it is now without restoring it. Make a backup copy of your vault, before you try it.
Change the filename extension of your vault to ".aplibrary", this will turn the vault into an Aperture library and try to open it directly in Aperture by double clicking it.
Aperture will now try to open the vault as the current Aperture library and upgrade it.
“Aperture Vault” was created by an older version of Aperture, and cannot be restored by this version.

2 Qs: a: Can't see library in Pictures; b:How to import an old library

I have a couple of problems with iPhoto.
*1. Invisible Library*
For some reason my library doesn't appear in the Finder when I go to the Pictures folder, however, I can see photos in my library when I open iPhoto.
I've tried a spotlight search for iPhoto library but nothing appears.
I have also tried quitting iPhoto and restarting holding the option key down. At the choice menu I cannot see any iPhoto library in the Pictures folder (or elsewhere).
Is there some way I can make this invisible folder visible?
*2. Import old library from external hard drive*
I have a library stored on an external hard drive with several years worth of photos on it. I would like to import the photos but when I try, iPhoto imports everything including thumbnails, modified photos, originals etc. I end up with thousands of duplicate photos. How can I import only the original photos and/or photos that have been modified from this library?
Thanks for your help
Peter

Peter:
1 - in the library Control click on a thumbnail and select "Show File" in the contextual menu. When you get to the file in the Finder window you can use the Path button at the top of the Finder window to see where the library is located.
It might be in a hidden folder for some reason. Go to the Finder->Go->Go to folder... menu and enter "/volumes" and hit return. If the library is there move it to the desktop and then into the Pictures folder. That will keep the events, albums, keywords, etc. intact for both libraries.
2 - your best bet is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the external library into the one on your boot drive.
Are you running iPhoto 7 (08)? In iPhoto 7 when you import another library it ignores any file in thj folder Data folder, i.e. the thumbnails. So all you get are the originals and the modified files.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to import the old project to new project in P6

Hi new guy here.Sorry if this thing have been posted before.I am kinda new here.
I just wonder if can I import an old project to new project in P6?
I have already finished with the project,but then as something happened I need to make it as a new project.So how can I used all the information I have on the old project to be transfer to the new one?
If can how?I need to change certain things like date,resource,etc.
Thanks

hello.
there are other more elaborate (and depending on size and scope of modifications, possibly useful) options including Methodology Management, but to keep it simple, try the following:
if you have an initial baseline of the existing project, restore it and go from there. let me know if you need help on that.
if not, copy-paste the existing project and manually adjust the newly created one. you can use "global changes" and/or "fill down" (see help and/or available related posts for this) to clear progress data such as actual resource/ expense units and costs, then activity start dates (in this order).
make sure you baseline your projects before you start imputting actual data.
good luck.

Importing OLD library on external drive to NEW iMAC

I just got an iMAC with a 750 gb hard drive. Enough to put my whole library (about 95 gb) on the new hard drive.
What's the best way to do it? Can I open iTUNEs, find the library and pick import?
I want to make sure I have all my playlists and album cover art.
Thanks.

Is the library fully self contained on the external drive (music files and database files there)? If so you can open it directly on the external as so...

Secure downloads: how do I get old Word to open them on new iMac?

I had MS Office X and installed it (via data wire from old iMac) on my new iMac. The problem is that the new MS Office that is preinstalled wants to open all my downloaded documents. They are now downloading as "secure download" and my old version won't open them. My old version can open any document only after the document is downloaded and opened in the new MS Office 2004.
I'm only using Office as opposed to Appleworks because tables/spreadsheets don't cross over from one platform to another easily and Office is the predominant software for those with whom I correspond via email.

Moving Snow Leopard iPhoto Libraries to new iMac with Lion

Can I move iPhoto Librarys from a iBook G4 running Snow Leopard to a iMac running Lion and if so how? Thanks, HJZ

Linc,
Thanks for the info, but I want to use an external FireWire drive as the target disk, not the old iMac. I'd need to keep the external FireWire drive connected to the old iMac in order to use the screen, keyboard, mouse, etc. Could I just connect the FW drive to the new iMac and then start up the new iMac in hopes it would "recognize" the external FireWire drive through Setup Assistant?

How to connect an old HP LaserJet 5MP to a new iMac?

Having the worst trouble -- for starters, the printer isn't recognized in Printer Setup Utility, though HP's on-line notes tell me that 10.6.4 has everything it needs for this printer. If so, where on iMac should I see the driver file or whatever it's called?
The printer is connected (as before) by way of a router and Ethernet, but the connection also goes via an AsanteTalk box. That was added years ago when I had difficulty connecting my last iMac, a G5, and I'm wondering if it's the problem because it's AppleTalk related and now AppleTalk is no more.
Where to start!? Help would be most appreciated.
Thanks . . . Fortes

It's taken me a week to get hold of the necessary cable but still no joy, though I now realise my comment above about the link is wrong -- I didn't know about USB to Parallel Printer Adapters or what they looked like. So the link above is fine. Using the new cable and discarding the AsanteTalk box, I connected directly to the iMac.
There seems to be two ways to adjust printer settings, first via Command-P where one can add a printer (I chose Protocol: HP Jetdirect-Socket, and Address: my IP address, but then, after some on-line back and forth, there's a message "Network host [my IP address] is busy." The other is the Printer Setup Utility which leads me to Printer List and "You have no printers available" plus some buttons. When I click the Add button I get the message "Printer Setup Utility quit unexpectedly", then clicking on Reopen takes me back to "You have no printers available."
What I'm not seeing is a list of printers or any mention of the HP LaserJet 5MP.

Hi Narendra,
You can put the code in comments, if you don't want to use the old code..You can delete also..But be sure that code belongs to you only..
SE38>zxrsau01>change-->find out your data source
Comment(Or can delete) the code starting from WHEN '2LIS_11_VAHDR'. to the end of the code that you have written..
If you really want to delete the assignment of RSAP0001 to your old project>goto CMOD>your project name>change>delete assigment
Then create a new project and assign the enhancement RSAP0001 to your new project and write the code in Include 'ZXRSAU01'..
Hope it helps

I to want photo sizes given in inches in iPhoto on my new iMac. How is that done?

How can I change photo sizes in iPhoto on my new iMac to inches, not cm? Also is it possible to print 2 "4x6" photos on 1 11x8 photo paper? Thanks in advance.

You don't need to get to preview to take a screenshot. Here are the key combinations for screenshots:
Command-Shift-3
Capture the screen to a file
Command-Shift-Control-3
Capture the screen to the Clipboard
Command-Shift-4
Capture a selection to a file
Command-Shift-Control-4
Capture a selection to the Clipboard
Use Command-Shift-4 to capture just the part you want to save.
